Day 1 - Never Be Without Your Camera!

It’s 2:03 AM New Years Day and I can’t sleep. My mind is racing with excitement of all the things I want to share with you and I am so anxious to get this “31 Days to to better photos” launched. Today is the day! So, Let’s get started!

The idea of this came about with so many of you asking me, "How do I get better pictures, how do I get that blur in the background, how do I get the eyes sharp" and even questions such as, "Why are my photo’s so dark or too bright, why are my pictures so blurry", and the list goes on and on. These are all such great questions. I am here to tell you, that I too once had these very same questions. Together we are going to learn some simple steps that will aid you in getting those amazing pictures you desire.

Many of you whom have taken my 101 class, know that I speak volumes about carrying your camera with you at all times…

Today's Lesson:

Today’s lesson is this! NEVER, EVER be without your camera! You never want to miss a moment in time that you can never get back.

It doesn't have to take losing someone we LOVE

Today’s lesson is this! NEVER, EVER be without your camera! You never want to miss a moment in time that you can never get back.

Recently a family friend lost their 1-year-old child and just months before this child’s death, they had a wonderful time with a Professional Photographer capturing their darling family. These images radiated the love of how a family is everything, one I can lean on, where we get our strength and our support, and the pure love of these parents for their children and the pure love coming back to them, is PRICELESS!

This journey is 31 days of YOU learning to take amazing pictures. With some simple steps, or what I call recipes… you will have success.

But I don't have a nice camera like you

It matter not what type of camera you have, whether it be a point and shoot or a DLSR. It matter not how skilled you are or if you are just beginning. The thing that I want you to take away from today’s lesson, is to never miss an opportunity to “Get that Moment” in picture. You can never get these times back with your little ones, your Grandmother, the love of your life, your 16 year old son who is picking up his very first date, or your daughter who is performing in her very first dance recital. These are moments that deserve to be frozen in time where they can be enjoyed by telling a story for generations to come.

Day 1 Takeaway: 1. Find your camera, charge the battery, now put it somewhere that is easily accessible. AND2. Carry with you at the very least, a point and shoot in your purse so that you will never have to say, “I wish I had my camera!”
